Keep Your Landscape Fountain Clean
Keep Your Landscape Fountain Clean It is essential to carefully maintain water fountains for them to work optimally. A typical issue with fountains is that they tend to accumulate dirt and debris, so it is vital that you keep it free from this. Additionally, anywhere light from the sun comes in contact with still water, algae can develop. To prevent this, there are some basic ingredients that can be mixed into the water, such as vinegar, sea salt, or hydrogen peroxide. Bleach can also be dissolved into the water, but this is not the ideal option as it can harm birds or other animals.
Experts advise that the typical garden fountain undergoes a thorough cleaning every three-four months. Prior to cleaning, all of the water must be taken out. When you have done this, wash inside the water reservoir with a gentle detergent. Feel free to use a toothbrush if necessary for any tiny crevasses. Any soap residue that remains on your fountain can harm it, so be sure it is all rinsed off.
It is highly advised taking the pump apart to better clean the inside and eliminate any plankton or calcium. Soaking it in vinegar for a time will make it easier to clean. Mineral or rain water, versus tap water, is ideal in order to eliminate any build-up of chemicals inside the pump.
And finally, make sure the water level is continuously full in order to keep your fountain operating optimally. If the water level falls below the pump’s intake level, it can hurt the pump and cause it to burn out - something you do not want to happen!
